Betty Crocker's Cookbook for Boys and Girls (2003)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.
I bought this cook book because this is a version of the same one I had as a child. It has excellent recipes and brings back memories of a simpler time. The recipes are easy to read and follow and the illustrations are wonderful. It is in a spiral format so the pages turn easily and wont rip. This is a great cookbook for yourself or one to share with your children and grandchildren!

‘Betty Crocker’s Cookbook for Boys and Girls’, is quite a good vintage cookbook that still has endearing recipes for children today. Originally published in the 1950's and reprinted in the 1960’s and 1970’s, the book includes instructions for basic cooking techniques, measuring, and utensils as well as a selection of recipes in the categories of campfire cooking, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and extra special occasions. The instructions and recipes are basic enough for children to be able to make themselves, with very creative and attractive results. The recipes include mostly common ingredients and there are many illustrations throughout the book to offer creative ideas for making meals, as well as party and display ideas, made from very simple household materials also. There are pages of photographs of many of the finished recipes including, cookies with faces, holiday cakes, long john silver sandwiches, raggedy Ann salad, potato boats and pigs in blankets.
Some of the recipes include:
*Drum Cake
*Extra Special Drinks
*Paintbrush Cookies
*Zoo Cake
*Heart Cake
*Easter Hat Cake
*Eskimo Igloo Cake
*Clown Cup Cakes
*Ice Cream Cone Cakes
*Good Kid Cookies
*Kabobs
*Doughboys
*Eggs in a Frame
*Branded Pancakes
*Pigs In blankets
*Hamburgers
*Breads

This was a purely nostalgia purchase for me. This was my very first cookbook. I still have half of my original one, but like it's owner, it kind of fell apart with age. When I saw the same book for sale on ebay, I jumped on it. It came in perfect condition and I LOVE IT!

Still A Classic Children's CookbookReview created: 02/17/09

In 1957, the original "Betty Crocker Cookbook for Boys and Girls" was published. I was eleven years old then, when I got a copy of that book. It made it possible for me to cook whole meals and fancy desserts by myself. My daughter and I used this cookbook too. I love the clear and simple instructions. The book is also illustrated with many colour photos and drawings. I was so happy to see that a new edition had been published. I gave this cookbook to our daughter for Christmas this past year, so she could use it with her son. I recommend this book highly to anyone looking for a wonderful children's cookbook. As for me. I still use it.

Great Basic Cookbook For Children (and even Adults!!!)1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I got this book in 1957 when it first came out. I was eight years old at the time. It is such a fun book, full of delicious, easy recipes, and colorful pictures. I still have my original after all these years, and it's still in an acceptable condition as a used book. I even have some favorite recipes in it.
I decided to buy the book to give to my 6 adult children, so they could use it to let their children have fun with the joy of cooking their own food. I have to admit that wasn't my original idea. My cousin, who is my age and got the same book for her 8th birthday, too, told how she got used copies of it to give to her three adult daughters. They absolutely love it, too!

Betty Crocker's Cookbook for Boys and Girls (2003)1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Purchased for my granddaughter, who is just beginning to cook and wanted her own recipes. This book is full of good, easy recipes that kids like; easy to follow recipes with pictures to help explain. It teaches kitchen safety, terms, cleaning up; it even shows them how to set a table properly-often forgotten in our busy times!
The only thing I would have changed is to put the terms and safety issues at the beginning of the book instead of the back. I'll probably get a couple more for the other grandkids. It's a must-have!

Must have Cookbook for your little girl !Review created: 02/19/08

I purchased this book for my daughter who is constantly stealing my large Betty Crocker Cookbook which was a gift from my mother. My cookbook is so sentimental to me being that my mother has since passed. I since found this version & immediately purchased this here on Ebay. My daughter is in love with the old fashioned pages & the pictures of the food. She loves to cook on her little retro kitchen & now pretends she is making recipes. The binding on this book is spiral bound & the book itself is plenty sturdy ( including the pages) even for my 4 year old. The book itself is complete enough for adults to actually follow the recipes & cook meals & deserts as well. I am in love with the vintage retro style cover & inside graphics on the book & have to say there is much learning to be done with this book for any child for many years to come. Great keepsake as well as educational. Highly reccomended !

Betty Crocker Cookbook for Girls and Boys1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
The book I purchased was wonderful. It was wrapped in plastic - brand new. It was evidentally a second or third printing but I didn't care. My sister had this cook book when I was a little girl and I was only 6 years old when I started using the recipes in this book. That is the reason that I bought this - it reminded me about my wonderful childhood and how my Dad used to tease me when I would bake something. I wanted to add this to my collection so that my Grandchildren might get the same satifaction from the book that iI did. I went on to become a very good cook. I like to make things from scratch and this is a very good "jump starter" in that area.

Book arrived in excellent condition, looks brand new.I have the original 1st edition of this book but was missing one page, the page with our family's favorite recipe. I purchased the book basically to get that page. It will now allow me to "retire" the old book and use the new one, not worrying about losing a page or dropping an ingredient or two on a page.

Betty Crocker's Cookbook for Boys and GirlsThis is a copy of the first cookbook I received, when I was in the fourth grade. I still have that one, but it is held in a plastic bag to keep from losing pages!
My granddaughter, a second grader, and I enjoy cooking together, so this is for her, for Christmas.
The recipes are easy to prepare, and are quite healthful, as well as delicious. It's as good and versatile as it was when I was a kid who loved to cook!

) Mom brought out the copy she had from 1957 to tell me my sister had asked for it. It was falling apart. As sis has girls and I have a boy, I told her to go ahead then I headed to eBay. I found this facsimile edition and promptly ordered it. It is exactly like the original--I compared them! Since I was only home for 7 days, the shipping was extraordinarily quick. We are all so pleased with this reproduction and thank the seller for all the happy memories.

It wasn't quite what I expectedThis book contains most recipes that any average cook could come up with. I bought it for my daughter, but found that the stuff in it really wasn't something I would use or anything new. I think it is just easier to have her use my cookbook. If you aren't a cook/baker, then this would be a good tool to use with your kids, but if you do any cooking/baking, you already have the tools you need to teach them. Maybe for an older child that wants to cook on their own - this would work, but even then, I would assume a pre-teen/teen would be reading out of their parent's cookbook.
